i surprised myself by watching a 42 min video without any background music. Just a man sitting narrating his expertise.
No distracting background music is GREAT!!! Thank you! Wish more YT channels take on board that learning without noise and other input taking away from the lesson or video is best. Also this is a fantastic video and have learned so much to improve my small item's photos. Thank you again.

These are the kinds of video that literally worth more than a college degree
Absolutely true. Learning more here than in almost any of the four years of classes it took to get a bachelors!
If you need any photo background removal services and edit photos, Please reply for more details.
It's literally just raw, educational, casual teaching but it feels like the best 1 to 1 mentor chat
Congratulations Luke: after YEARS of trying to master it, you are the FIRST person that has explained ISO in terms I can understand and put to use. Your ability to "condense massive complexities" is admirable! I subscribed before finishing your video...
ISO was the first term I was able to understand, the rest are just little touches to the pictures.
Hi , very informative ghost mannequin photography Thank for sharing the post " we are professional ghost mannequin product editing service provider any kind of image editing services thank you
It’s easy to make things complicated; but it’s difficult to make them simple.
You have the ability to show the complications in a very simple way.
And that’s makes you a great teacher.
BTW, I teach photography since 1981 and show my students very simple methods similar to yours to get good photos. Frankly you are better. Subscribed.
Cannot believe I just spent 42mins watching, I am Mr ADHD! You only touched your camera setting once. You brought the whole idea of "light" to "ultimate light" no more fumbling settings. I am to free to create THANK YOU Mr Sensi... I am a huge fan now!
What you are teaching is what made people complete a 42 minute video without all those distracting video elements. You are Awesome!
3 years of photography courses, and I could have learned all that in 42 minutes. Excellent work!
This really is the only one you’d need to watch. I love how simplified he made each concept!
Yeah! For the first time i have finally understood the purpose of iso and everything else. Thanks Mr. Plus your charisma is 😍
So many videos, countless hours of people explaining the same thing in different ways, then there's this one video that covers it all with 100% conciseness and clear explanation.
Thank you for this video. I cannot express how grateful I am for this video!
His energy is a whole mood. Your voice is very soothing to listen to. I couldn't help but pay attention
This was the perfect video for me. Why? It was calm, relaxing, no fast cuts and fun. And of course so informative. Thank you.
As an outdoor photographer transitioning to product photography. This is by far one of the best videos I've watched to learn about light modification. The examples that no one wants to see yet people watching this video are seeing and then showing how easy it is to modify light with a flash and paper. Boom! Thank you for this. Subscribed!
OK, good! I've been struggling with my product photography for over 2 years. Three photography courses at the local college and I was still struggling. Then I watch this video and I'm like, "OMG! Where were you 27 months ago?!" I've completely updated all my website photos using these techniques and the improvement is amazing! I highly recommend watching Luke's photoshop tutorials as a follow up. Luke, you're a complete doll face! OK. Good!!!
Hahahaha love you're feedback. Thank you very much and it's really good to know I can help you with this stuff 😊😊😊
I was browsing the comments trying to find out if this was worth watching and this comment hit close to home. I've taken a couple classes over the past decade and a half and while they're fun, I never really developed an eye for it, not even really improving during the semester. Which is a shame because I love the act of taking photos and experimenting. I'm heading home in a few minutes and will be watching this and following along his video, thanks!
I have spent many years trying to learn photography and this is the first time someone’s dumbed it down enough to where I can actually understand what goes into a good shot. I’m a year late since you posted this but THANK YOU. I feel much more inspired and confident because before I just thought I just had crappy or old equipment and it’s pretty eye opening to find out that that part isn’t even a factor. 🤯🙏
You've just taught me more about photography in one hour than I've ever known so I can even enjoy being called: My Son.
I am not a beginner, but I still wanted to see if you had anything to teach me (and you did). But 42 minutes? I played this at 1.75 speed and it was perfect for me. For anyone wanting to learn product photography this is worth the time. I’ve seen at least a dozen other videos on the same topic. While they all stress the overall goal of controlling light, everyone has something unique to teach you, including this gent. Watch as many as you can until you find methods that fit your needs and your budget.
"Photo means light" I can hear that a thousand times.
Yes he Did. That's y I love to hear "photo means light". Lighting is super important. He helped me to take a better photos.
Probably late but...
"LUKE at that!"
I have never (ever) commented on a UA-cam video but have to thank you on this one. This is the most useful, simple, concrete and actionable UA-cam photography video I have seen re: product photography 🙏🏾🤩
"this is my grandfathers watch, well actually I just found it somewhere" lfmao
Rewatched this video three times now. Best explanation tutorial than many others.
Been skillshare seen daniel schiffer seen so many tutorials and man. A 42 min video that trumps all. No fancy gimmicks straight to the point and informative throughout. Thank you so much
I've learned more about photography in this one video than in, like, years of taking bad pictures.
Agreed, I come to hear about product photography, but I learned so much more about photography itself!
The only thing I can say is THANK YOU. This video opened my eyes to photography. Thank you.
This by far and I mean by light years the best photography video I have seen. It's not even debatable! Thank you so much Luke. I saving my coins to buy your course because if it's anything like this video it would be a steal of a deal! Once again thank you and keep dropping great content like this. I am forever grateful.
I love it Luke, and enjoy the humour. Simple but effective! Going to give it a shot.
I doubt you will ever read this but I used to teach hair color therory and I completely understand the amount of effort you had to put into making this simple easy to follow tutorial. Thank You from the bottom of my novice photograher, online seller heart.
Jesus Christ! It was an amazing product photography in a nutshell! I am a photographer but have never done product photography! After watching many many tutorials, I happen to see yours and I can say that it was a masterpiece. Not necessarily over-simplified but plainly-patiently explained.
I have watched many photography videos but yours is incredibly amazing. You were less technical which is good for someone. I love your DIY style. Makes life a bit easier. You were interesting, funny, and boring altogether😂. Thanks for the video.
5 years doing photography and never saw someone explaining this so well! thank you so much.. I'm checking your course now!
It's quite impressive how I ( A 27 year old Egyptian Dude Living in Saudi Arabia ), in a completely and utterly different part of the world with a different culture than yours actually enjoyed watching you and learning from you. You actually made my day. I really like you and your work, keep it going bro.

Best 42 minute investment ever!!
“My grandfather’s clock. Well, actually it’s not my grandfather’s” me: “awe sad face” haha
This man is like the Tom Hiddleston of photography. I can't be the only one who sees it.
Love the humor, love the way you teach learned so much and im still in the beginning of the video can’t wait to finish it
I never could understand why the thumbs down? This is by far the best video I have seen. Thank you for a great video.
Well every now and then the showman in him takes it over. And then, the philosopher in him interferes, the salesman pulls and shove, then finally we get back Luke being straightforward. Its a journey. Im sure some people dont have the patience for that. I personally did enjoy the video. Its brilliant.
Honestly, I never knew I could learn all this things. The camera has always been a mystery to me.
Simply summarised every piece of detail that I've gathered about photography over the past five years, in one video.
Wish I had found this when I started.

OMG this is so amazing. I have been struggeling with the manual mode of my camera for a whole year. I have just found your playlist with tutorials and I am so pleased to have found you. Your way of explaining is so clear to me. Thank you so much for your help!
Thanks Luke! I enjoyed ur presentation style and learned something along the way. Subscribed now! Cheers
This was a very simple, interesting and informative video. I learned a lot with it :) Thanks for your video.
Love how much fun you have! Thanks for the tips Luke
You are amazing! Finding your channel has been game changing. Not only are you extremely talented, but your communication style is brilliant - clear, made simple, and super engaging. I could honestly watch your videos all day!
This guy just make it so easy to understand
Dude u have a great charisma how to tell this.
I love how much fun you are having while filming. It’s a very relatable style. New subscriber here for sure.
I love the minimal equipment approach. It makes it accessible to ordinary people (as opposed to professional photographers)
You deserve an award for this ❤️❤️
I took some shots of watches and I can’t believe how much better the quality was because I followed this tutorial. Luke’s tricks are incredible
I love your humor and the way you teach
This was absolutely amazing. Simple yet comprehensive. Thank you!
Luke, not only you teach like a pro but also you are a great communicator! Congratulations and thanks for sharing this with us!!!
This must be the best video about photography i have ever seen. You explain things very clearly. Thank you Luke!
This just came in at the right time! And what a great way of explaining things!
@@LukeAyers This video helped me a lot but I am still a bit lost when composing scenarios for products that don't pop to the eye just with white background. Would you have any tips for that?
Ok. There IS a solution to that. I just gotta think how to explain it properly
This is the most entertaining way someone has explained this on the internet!
Hahaha thank you for teaching it in such a fun way ~
No kidding, This video taught me more and I understood it more than any other UA-cam video I have watched on photography. Thank you.
I'm glad I'm not playing a drinking game for every time the word "good" is mentioned. LOL... While I'm not a complete beginner, I appreciate this video and I think we're all beginners, even the guys shooting for 20+ years because there's endless ways to sculpt the light. I appreciate the way you stripped it down.
I love DIY gear more than the actual branded stuff. It brings an extra layer of fulfillment that somehow got lost between film and digital that working with the hands to make the modifiers renews. :D
Man... I wish I had a teacher like you in high school to teach me physics. :D :D You are a great man, a great teacher. .. Best spent 42 mins..
Thank you Luke, I'm a novice and you have made this so simple to understand, my head is spinning with the amount of info I got from this tutorial. I Love it and lookiong for more.
Truly, thank you!! I need to step up my product photography game in a big way and was dreading trying to research that. So thankful to have found you from the start. Thank you for the humor and the value packed into this awesome video!! Can't wait to check out more!
How am I just finding your channel?! 😭 This is so amazing! Thanks for such an informative video !!
I... I have no words to express how enthralling this video is. To retain an audience for 40+ minutes without bullshit is one of the hardest things to do, and the fun fact is that you are teaching. I know everything you told us through this video - I know about camera settings, painting with light, using flash, using a radio trigger, I know about manual settings of a camera and why it is important, what a softbox does, how to make a DYI softbox, everything - yet I watched the video in one go, and this is what a great teacher does. The experience was like being in an orchestral concerto, except this was an educational video on photography.
As you mentioned, this video covers everything a photographer needs to "know", the rest is up to them (or us) to experiment, play with, and just have fun. My teacher once said, "It's not about what edits you do on your photos, it's always about what you capture inside that 35mm frame.", and you captured light.
I sincerely thank you for making this video, for it is not only educational but also inspirational. You have covered a complex, hard to understand, topic in an extremely simple process. Thank you.
You have earned a subscriber and a new like. I'm proud to be a part of this experience.
Thank you so much for making this tutorial! You simply make product photography so easy to understand and achieve.
Also, love the way you talk and explain things! We need more video from you!!!
Usually, people explaining the core of photography, let's say it... they are boring. You keep yawning and then once your eyes start closing... you shut off your computer, your brain since nothing makes sense end everything gets just too much. Well... Luke is another cattle of fish. You'll find yourself watching intently what he is saying and more importantly he is funny, witty and very clear. One of the best discoveries on UA-cam ever. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I am.
I'm really impressed by the way you've presented this information. It's information I can use right away. Thanks...
Thank you for making my life easier 🙏🏾🔥
Hey We got the same camera!! So glad I found your page and this tutorial. I just got this camera as it was on sale and wanted to learn how to take better product photos from a camera an d not my phone anymore. Your humor and the fact that I have the exact same camera and not a Canon Rebel like everybody and their mamma got on youtube makes this video top notch for me!! I'm definitely a new subscriber!! Thank You Luke!!!
finally someone telling proper stuff on photography , you inspired me ! great ! because of you i will finally understand what im doing in photography .. wow! thanks for putting it as easy as its possible!
Great video. I'm just about to embark on taking product photos for my e-commerce site so it has been really helpful
Wow I’m surprised how much I learnt from this. From such a cheap basic setup! For starting photography makes you realise you don’t actually need much. I assume changing baking paper colours (if possible) would give different tints too :)
Awesome! I'm glad. Yes you should experiment with other colours and textured papers too
Bro please keep on and dont stop posting videos on your channel❤️
This video came in best time because I have a product shoot in my work and it is my first time to do this
Thank u again❤️
I am a newbie to this hobby, glad i found your page, i just did as you describe, it's pitch black. Now i keep listen on. U speak soft and slow, easier to understand, no screaming, no yelling like other vlogsssss. Thank you. Subscribe to your page now. Yeahhhhh.
no lie, I paused the video to go get wax paper lol. This is the video I have been looking for. No fluff, directly to the point. Exactly the video I needed! Thank you!
@@LukeAyers okay I'm back. I clearly suck at this. lol I still managed to mess this up. 😂
Great video. It's so good you don't even need a camera for it to be applicable. I do a fair bit of 3D rendering for the products my company makes and I immediately stepped up my rendering game just from your video alone. Thanks a lot Luke!
this guy is so good at explaining things! Thank you so much for this tutorial!!
lol yay now I know how to take pictures of my products for etsy!!
Someone wants me to do a product photigraphy using my phone...and i literally thinking of how to go about it, this just made my work seem done already. Thanks bro...never watched a UA-cam video for more than 15mins, but didn't know how I ended up clocking 42mins.....Great delivery
After watching countless product photography videos...your video made me comment...your eyes show your love and passion for the craft. thanks luke🙂
Thanks for that. Really good video for free. And good idea to photography on cheap. Take care
love the humour my son!
ISO, Aperture, and f-stop. Three terms I now feel comfortable explaining to people now that I watched this video. Before that I never had a clear understanding.
thank you for the lecture! It's wort to watch till the end without skip, here I've found the basic "technical understanding" of photography...
You and your channel are so incredibly refreshing.
The content, presentation, delivery, insights, and perfect mix of being thorough yet keeping things concise, mixed with your sense of humor and personality that is/feels so genuine and isn't forced or over-the-top whatsoever-is such a rare find these days in the Internet's infinite ocean of content.
Thank you, genuinely!
(To this day my mother and I still get a laugh and bring up your "diagonals" revelation from time to time. It's so true and something I had never consciously noticed until hearing you bring it up. Your hilarious presentation and the whole diagonals concept will forever have an imprint in my mind haha)
Hahaha omg thanks so much, mate. That's really good to hear and I'm freakin glad you think that. Very much appreciated 😊👍
@@LukeAyers You're very welcome. Thank you for sharing your ideas and putting your work out into the world! Looking forward to all the content that has yet to come. Much love, my friend.
Photographer and a comedian. Subbed. Great tutorial!
wow Luke you have a gift! I been in to cameras so long the f100 Nikon was the flagship, No one has ever Brock the light down like you do in this video, I am your biggest fan.
very good content you providing, and clearing all the doubts. hats off
You had a mission to teach and make it clear. You surpassed my expectations. I wish I found this 3,000 videos ago...
Thank you!
Do his course!!!!
